Ireland done now, 3-1
Never gonna come back from here.
Strangely enough they have been playing better than they have for a lonf time but still not good enough in just about every department.
Shevchenko has refined Mourinho’s tactic of putting 10 men behind the ball and scoring with a deflected effort on the counter. Guru.France with only a draw eh ? Zut alors.
He's alright according to Solbakken. Rolled his ankle just before half time but just a bit sore and might still start Saturday against Turkey. He's just been named captain so if he wasn't already guaranteed to start if fit he certainly is now.Odegaard come off injured at half time....
Looking at their starting XI yesterday there's only four decent players there - de Ligt, de Jong, Wijnaldum and Depay. The rest is either mediocre/poor or young and unproven like Malen.Holland getting trashed by Turkey was a bit surprising. With the amount of talents they got going, you'd think they be better..

They really are there for the taking right now, both Turkey and Norway will be thinking they have a real chance of topping the group.
Norway will finish third because that's what they do. But they will have hope.
